A spontaneous choice, feminist history and hybrid fiction and something more, still. Everyone who has read it has been "captured" by her writing. Let's see . . .

AT LONG LAST, the audacious meta-autofiction collaborative novel by Helen DeWitt and Ilya Gridneff gets the beautiful print edition it deserves. If you like literary puzzles and fragmentary narratives, it’s for you. SOLID Ϙ

This Is the Title of This Story, Which Is Also Found Several Times in the Story Itself, by David Moser

https://consc.net/misc/moser.html

Not sure if I've preciously recommended this piece of experimental fiction, but it's a quick read, well worth your time.

#ExperimentalFiction

MULTIVOCAL, KALEIDOSCOPIC TALE of environmental collapse, love and heartbreak, friendship and collective collaboration plays wonderful games with language, narrative form, and time. Gloriously queer, beautifully elegiac. B PLUS

Is This Anything?

A trilogy of novels where each one skips big chunks of chapters but still tells a full story. Years later, the missing chapters show up in the next book, and then the last book finishes the rest.

Each stands alone, but if you put all three together in order, you end up with one complete novel hiding inside them.

LIFE UNDER TOTAL SURVEILLANCE is evoked in a poetic, daringly experimental work of science fiction. Beautiful and grotesque far-future mirror of challenges trans, queer, disabled, and neurodivergent people face today. B PLUS

Moore's massive tome is more ambitious and awe-striking than even his previous works, an expansive and gritty examination of humanity and faith, dimension and destiny.

I'm thrilled to have a story in Strange Locations! This is an anthology of very short stories written in the form of travel guides.

I wrote mine in the style of a Wikipedia entry, with the "real" story of a haunted dam told through the footnotes.

The only way to get a copy is to support the Apex Magazine Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/apexpublications/apex-magazine-2025

Either add it on to a subscription, or grab the "Strange Antho Bundle"

Stunning commentary of aging, gender, perception, and more through remarkable language play and magical realism. Slow down and enjoy what unfolds!

The Imagine 2200 story reviewers and judges evaluate stories without knowing the authors' names, so it's always exciting to find out who was behind the stories we chose.

I was ecstatic to learn the lovely story "The Imperfect Blue Marble" is by @raemariz! 💙📚 🔵

"In a culture where a child's first word takes on great meaning, a nonverbal child shows his compassion beyond words."

I've revised 'The Calling'. I don't know what label to pin on it. Is it surrealist fantasy? It's definitely experimental fiction. Anyway, here it is.

3 things I read & really liked this past week from a trio of great fiction writers with new work posted to the internet:

• Jessi Jezewska Stevens's latest from her substack on the midterm elections and #Stendhal
https://jjezewskastevens.substack.com/p/midterm-report

• Susan Daitch in Berfrois on the Gowanus Canal
https://www.berfrois.com/2022/11/susan-daitch-greening/

• Steve Barbaro (on here as @illepitaph) with brave new #experimentalfiction in 3:AM Magazine: "How Yummy Is Purgatory"
https://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/how-yummy-is-purgatory/

A fresh introduction for the latest comers to this instance:

I am a literary critic who reviews current fiction, but especially #experimentalfiction https://danielgreen.substack.com/?showWelcome=true

I have maintained the literary weblog, The Reading Experience
(https://www.thereadingexperience.net), since 2004.

I am also the author of this book: https://www.coweyepress.com/btb.htm

Although I write about current/contemporary fiction, I am otherwise interested in free-range conversations about literature and #literarycriticism..
